THE KENTUCKY PIONEER.
His Picturesque Hunting Costume-Ths
Weapons He Carried.

weapons he carried.
A happy and artistic thought has pre-
served the authentic pioneer costume,
sculptured upon the state military monu-
ment at Frankfort, from models prepared
under the eye of pioneers that then sur
vived. The coat or ''hunting shirt" that
reached to the thigh was of coarse cloth
or preferably of well dressed deerskin that
turned rain and was not readily torn.
Around the neck and shoulders was
fringe six inches long, not intended for
ornament alone, but supplying the strings
so often needed by hunter. The four
pockets, two on either breast, were ex-
actly placed that the use of weapons would
not be embarrassed. A belt, carrying TOM
ahawk and knife, passed through loops at
the back and was frightened by buckle
or thongs.
Beneath the right arm swung the bull
let pouch, and with it the powder horn.
In the former were carried the bullets,
the cotton patching" with which the
balls were surrounded in loading, and the
precious extra flints, all inclosed and
fastened in interior pockets, lest in rapid
movement they might be lost. The pow
der horn was selected with reference to
the curve of the body, that it might lie
close and neither impede the use of the
right arm nor become entangled with the
bushes or cane. Much care was bestowed
upon its adornment and it was softened
by boiling to receive the desired shape
and preparation. At the left side hung
the tomahawk, light hatchet with
curved blade, useful in many ways about
the camp, and formidable weapon in
close combat. The knife lay across the
chest within ready grasp.
Over his short trousers and stockings
the hunter habitually wore deersllin leg
gings that reached to the middle of the
thigh. These were prepared of brain
dressed skins that perfectly turned the
rain and dew. Along their outer edge
were often fringes of. strings hanging for
ready use The feet were cased in moe
casins, to which soles of rawhide were
sometimes sewed; but as rule the soft
elkskin was preferred, for the face of the
land was as yet unbroken turf or forest
mold, soft and springy to the tread. Stone
cropped out as cultivation disturbed the
soil in after years, A cap, brought from
the eastern settlements, or made of tho
skin of a coon or panther, completed the
costume of the original hunter of Ken
tucky.-Harper's Magazine

Modification of Eviction Rigors-Views OF
Father Quelter.
DUBLIN, Jan. 21.--Lord Mayor Sullivan has
fected there to-day. All those evicted, however
were readmitted care-takers at a nominal sal
ary of one penny q week. A great throng of
people followed the evicting party from place to
place but, although the crowd was boisterous,
there was no rioting
Father Quelter, in an interview day at Glen
beigh, said: II have been in Glenbeigh for
three years, and may say that have done more
than any agent toward inducing the people to
pay their rents / at first thought their failure
to pay was due to dishonesty. Therefore,
pressed them from the altar every Sunday to pay
their just debts. and l was surprised at the pa
tient manner in which they bore my inpor-
tunities. Experience proves that Glenbeigh
is in chronic state of poverty. The
people migrate in harvest time as laborers
but depend largely upon the donations of sons
and daughters living in other districts. In times
of depression the wages fall, when it is impos-
slble for many 30 pay at all. Donations from
America have almost entirely ceased to come.
aud, in addition to this, the cattle trade failed
last year. The people did little else than take
their cattle to fairs and return with the stock
unsold In my opinion the people cannot live
here in such numbers
Father Quelter declined to say how many he
considered able to pay.
The sales of cattle by tenants at Michaelstown
yesterday amounted to 10000. The service
of writs OF electment continues. At an eviction
near Bantry the elected tenants wife was SO
affected that she attempted to commit suicide.

as serious. The peaceful tone OF the French
press is not assuring. it is evident the papers
